Dayon! is an easy to use, cross-platform remote desktop assistance solution.
It consists of two parts - one for the assistant and one for the assisted. Both are included in one single package.
- easy setup
- no router or network configuration needed on the assisted side
- friendly, trilingual user interface
- assistant and assisted functionality in same packet
- encrypted communication (TLS)
- cross-platform
- open source
- free (as in free beer)
Dayon! was originally developed by Marc Polizzi back in 2008.
With his permission I moved the code base to GitHub, where it can easier be maintained.
The is v1.7.4 - released more than ten years after the initial release.
This version comes with a new connection protocol, allowing the clipboard to be shared between assisted and assistant.
It is most likely the very last version which is bundled with a Java 8 based JRE.
Dayon! means "Come in!" in Visayas - a local Philippine dialect.
The project can be built with Maven:
mvn clean package
or with Ant:
ant clean build
Have a look at pom.xml or build.xml for details and advanced options.
Any feedback and contributions are very welcome.
You don't have to be a programmer!
For example translations for additional languages would make this app more useful for more earthlings - see: src/main/java/mpo/dayon/common/babylon/Babylon.properties or docs
Some additional testing, especially on Mac OS would also be highly appreciated.
